Fingerprint: SPOT-POOL in huge orange-red arc, two grinning cartoon men in billiard shirts flanking triangular pool-ball rack, cyan-blue pool seen from above, numbered pool balls arranged in five coloured rows, scoring pennants labeled MILLIONS and THOUSAND flanking scene, pointed coloured spandrels numbered 00-90 along bottom edge
The centrepiece is a huge triangle of fifteen coloured pool balls, one through fifteen, arranged like a bowling-pin triangle inside a green border, replacing the racked balls on a pool table. Two grinning cartoon men in billiard shirts face each other across it, one lifting his cue overhead and the other holding his cue vertical, as if arguing over the shot. The title arcs across the top in huge orange-red block capitals with a cream keyline, flanked by two matching pennant-shaped scoring ladders labelled MILLIONS and THOUSAND. A row of tall pointed coloured spandrels numbered 00 to 90 fills the bottom edge.

A single-panel backglass with a royal blue background and a giant orange-red title arc reading SPOT-POOL in fat outlined block letters, with a cream script word Williams at the top left corner. Below the title, a bright cyan-blue pool of water with a darker oval ring is seen from above, and two smiling cartoon men in white short-sleeved shirts stand waist-deep behind a triangular pool-hall wall. The man on the left has black hair, a long pointed nose and holds a cue raised in his right hand; the man on the right has orange hair, thick dark eyebrows and grips his cue upright with both hands. Between them is a large green-bordered triangle of fifteen numbered pool balls in five coloured rows, running 1 at the apex down to 11-15 along the base. Flanking the scene are two vertical columns of scoring windows: on the left a white pennant reads MILLIONS over red 8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 values, and on the right a matching pennant reads THOUSAND above 900, 800, 700, 600, 500, 400, 300, 200, 100. Along the bottom a row of tall pointed spandrel shapes carries 00 through 90 under THOUSANDS labels. A small white square box sits at middle right.
